Blog 1 Day 8 of liquid Diet
Dec 11, 2010
Well, I went out last night and bought more broth. I did mix is up this time and got some veggie broth. I think I like this MUCH better than chicken and beef is disgusting. One of my new friends on here was telling me to add pepper--it helps!I should say, I also bought some scales for the first time in years! I need affirmation that what I'm doing is paying off. Up/down--I love to watch it move. LOL
Someone said something about V-8--but the only V8's I could find had like 8g of sugar. So, I didn't risk it.
I am 43 years old, married for 23 years to a supportive husband who wants me to have the surgery for my health, but still struggles with "will you leave me". Added to this is the fact I just finished my BA in Elementary Education this past Thursday! :) YAY ME! :) Summa Cum Laude, I may add! LOL
I work with special needs children at a high school and with regular education children who need more attention than the ones I'm in there to help! LOL I love my job, but am looking forward to maybe a nice 2nd grade class in the near future! That is where I did my student teaching--loved it!
We have four children (ages 22, 21, 20, 19) or thereabouts...the youngest will not be 19 until March...but they're that close.
Three boys and a baby girl :) We are truly blessed!
I decided about 7 months ago that this was going to be what I was going to do. I was originally going for the lap band--however, several of my friends/family that have had the RNY told me I'd regret not just getting this done--and I do have 140 lbs to lose, so--like most things that I've said "I'll never do this"...here I am less than 72 hours away from an RNY.
This liquid diet is "not so bad". I can't help but visualize all the food I'd wished I eaten more of before I was being starved. Is that so wrong? I know I'm having this surgery because I can't do it on my own--but I can't help but think--why didn't I get a stuffed crust, or a baked potato, or eat another bowl of those chips/salsa from Chili's before this all started! Ahhh there I went and did it again--my stomach is growling and I'm starving--I've already drank my broth and eaten my jello and was feeling full and mellow! LOL Now it's time for slim fast I guess or more jello...groan!
Anyway, the most important thing about me is that I am a Christian and I believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST as my Saviour and Friend. I trust him with all of this and refuse to worry if something goes wrong. The way I figure it--absent from the body is present with the LORD. I am thankful each day for the new mercy he has shown me and mine. If you have questions about Christ or this peace...please let me know! :) He'll be your best friend--if you'll let him!
